00:00There are less than a hundred thousand humpback whales in this ocean and the
00:03chance of an albino being born is one in 50,000. I'm an underwater photographer
00:11and it is one of the most unique things I've ever experienced. When we got in the
00:15water the baby was resting under the mother whale. The mother acts as an
00:19anchor so the baby can practice staying down and holding her breath. The mother
00:23will hold her breath for 20 minutes but the baby can only hold her breath for
00:27three minutes. So when she comes up to take a few breath she's very playful.
00:32This baby in particular was coming very close and was very inquisitive and playful
00:37around the swimmers. Then she would go back down, rest underneath her mother
00:48and come back up after another three minutes.
00:57I was really surprised when the mother came up she was cruising very slow and very
01:04calmly around us. It was almost like she was nudging the baby to come closer to us.
01:09Around a third of all baby whales get killed by orcas and a white whale will attract a lot
01:16of attention and it will be a target of many predators. So seeing that the mother was calm around us
01:23is really really special. So seeing this in person is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
01:31What's next thing you can see.
01:38I am happy to have a good time.
01:39It's just been challenging for years and it's been a bit of a time opportunity.
01:41I was to take a moment to have the time opportunity.
01:44I am happy to have a some of my biggest difference in the world –
01:47a time opportunity.
01:48I'm happy to have the time opportunity.
01:52Welcome back to our Electrics program.
01:53It is important.
01:54It's been a time opportunity.
01:59To have everything that I am happy to do.
